Is It Wrong to Love Microsoft?
vd writes "Given most comments on Slashdot, it would appear that anyone with even a slight knowledge of computers hates Microsoft. An article on CoolTechZone, though, argues that not everyone should dismiss Microsoft outright. According to Varun Dubey, Linux is over-rated, Macs aren't worthy and Windows deserves respect and some love. From the article: 'What has Microsoft given us? It has given us Windows, sure, it was buggy earlier and a lot of things didn't work like they were supposed to (plug and play springs to mind) but it was a pioneering effort. No one was even close to the ease of use that Windows offered. Sure, Mac OS was a lot prettier but then it cost the moon and the stars along with both your arms and legs.'"

And he must really hate that pesky 'logic' thing.
I think it's the most over rated piece of software ever built and survives simply out of spite and not because it is terribly good at doing something because it is not!
This is the greatest sentence ever written in the history of man. Thank you for your penetrating insight.

Finally, an article that actually gives Microsoft an objective look not skewered by the linux and mac trolls on the net
Computers that do the bare minimum are called fingers.
First of all, the writing is less than stellar. Second, all of it is opinion based without any sort of facts to back it up, or in depth explanation of his point.
I think you're being too kind. The writer comes across as a not too bright 12 year old. In other words, I think we may have just witnessed the birth of India's version of Rob Enderle.
It's not offtopic, dumbass. It's orthogonal.
"most of the people developing Linux probably sit at night writing up malicious code for windows!"
Actually, most of the people developing Windows probably sit at night writing up malicious code for Windows! Or is Internet Explorer a very successful third-party trojan?

This has got to be in the top ten of /. trollposts ever...
whoever the author of this crap is, he had better crawl back into the slimy hole whence he came because he verges on libel and slander.
-if at first you don't succeed, stay the heck away from paragliding.
Around here, a posting that's pro-Windows is news, kinda like a Bigfoot sighting (as in, what was this guy smoking, and where can I get some?).
Stop by my site where I write about ERP systems & more
considering that half the population statistically has problems with fractions
Holy crap! That must be... what? About 28% or so?
Pathetic!
Information wants to be anthropomorphized.
You've clearly forgotten about Microsoft Bob.

Yeah, but they're only usable before you boot.
I am no longer wasting my time with slashdot
